Canada’s largest pension fund Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) has agreed to invest about $600 million in National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) through the NIIF Master Fund.
The government had set up the NIIF in 2015 with 40000 crore rupees as an investment vehicle for funding commercially viable both Greenfield and Brownfield.
It is India’s first sovereign wealth fund.
NIIF funds are registered as Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
